About the show

Suggested minimum audience age: 12 yrs

Lords and lechery? Treason and treachery? An all-clown, all-gibberish, insanely inspired retelling of the classic, Macbeth. Four of Montreal’s most gifted performers reinvent the classic tragedy as the most seriously silly drama you will ever see. Shakespeare … in a language you can finally understand

MöcShplat is a truly original, uniquely Montreal invention; a delirious mash-up of Elizabethan text, French farce, and European clowning. It is an imaginative and wildly entertaining adventure, appealing to both the Shakespearean scholar and the classics novice.

(Content advisory: Shakespeare purists may be offended.)
